Creosote Formation and Need for Removal When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapours, which combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapours condense in the relatively cool chimney flue of a slow burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining.

Combustion Air Intake or combustion air can be supplied to the stove in one of two ways. Consult your local building code or Installation Code for Solid-Fuel-Burning Appliances and Equipment before proceeding. Outside air supply - (Necessary for air tight homes.) Outside air may be drawn from either underneath the stove or from behind.
WARNING: OPEN AIR CONTROL (AND DAMPER WHEN FITTED) BEFORE OPENING FIRING DOOR. Your PACIFIC ENERGY heater is designed for maximum overall efficiency at a moderate firing rate. Overfiring is hazardous and a waste of fuel. Too slow a burn contributes to creosote buildup and lowers combustion efficiency.
How to Test Your Wood Add a large piece of wood to the stove when it has a good large bed of coals. It is dry if it is burning on more than one side within one minute. It is damp if it turns black and lights within three minutes. If it sizzles, hisses and blackens without igniting in five minutes it is soaked and should not be burnt.
Restarting After Extended or Overnight Burns 1. Open door and rake hot embers towards the front of the heater. Add a couple of dry, DO NOT OVERFIRE THIS HEATER: split logs on top of embers, close door. Attempts to achieve heat output rates that exceed heater design specifications 2.
4. Inspect the gasket between baffle and supply tube. If necessary, replace with gasket (part#80000365) available from your Pacific Energy dealer. 5. Re-install baffle assembly in reverse order. The two side pieces of blanket insulation must be tight against the side rails.
